In this house of music, evil strikes the final chord! Horror legend Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) assumes the classic role of the Phantom in this shocking, nerve-jangling retelling of Gaston LerouxÂ's timeless tale of music, madness and murder! An aspiring opera singer finds herself transported back to Victorian-era London – and into the arms of a reclusive, disfigured maestro determined to make her a star. The silver-throated Christine (Jill Schoelen) enjoys success through the arrangements of her new lover (Englund)Â...until she realizes that he has been committing unspeakably grisly murders in her honor and wonÂ't stop until heÂ's completed his masterpieceÂ...in blood!

Summary: Good version
Comment: The performance is good but it has a little touch of modernism, anyway... a new proposal or a new version for this classic French story.

Summary: A Modern Horror Twist on a Horror Classic
Comment: This version of the story of the Phantom of the Opera is okay if you are a horror fan and a fan of the story. It's not very suspenseful and definitely won't keep you on the edge of your seat. But if you are a fan of 80's horror films and Freddy, you'll get a kick out of this one.

Summary: "Only love and music are forever"
Comment: The emphasis is definitely on gore in this effective 1989 take on THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, starring Robert Englund in the title role. Followers of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical might want to bypass this one.
The setting is modern-day New York. Promising opera singer Christine Day (Jill Schoelen) is auditioning for an important producer when a stage accident catapults her back to 19th-century London. She's still Christine, an aspiring soprano, yet haunted by the terrifying Phantom (Englund), a deformed composer who wears a mask stitched from the skins of his human victims.
The time-twisting theme works well to bookend the story, and Jill Schoelen is a luminous presence as both incarnations of Christine (her singing is dubbed by Nancy Fontana). Robert Englund is quite chilling yet imbues his role with a dark comedy streak. The late great Stephanie Lawrence is also memorable playing Carlotta, the resident opera diva.
PHANTOM fans should enjoy this version, which is full of gaslight thrills and chills. Highly-recommended.

Summary: To Crypt "thecrypt777"
Comment: I really liked this guys review and he already said alot of things I cannot think of saying. However, I did give this movie one star because I found Englund's acting to be off. The movie scenes were good and the story was well known but the acting was off and very stiff. Englund should have half of his face disfigured instead of his whole face, it probably would make people stop calling it Freddy goes to the Opera.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Phantom of Elm Street is more like it
Comment: This mess bears little in common with the great novel or any of the many film versions of the story. They have taken a haunting tale of lust, greed, and suspense and turned it into "A Nightmare In The Opera". Just a silly and poorly put together slasher movie. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
